Beatles don't come cheap...

Beatles USB Drive
Last updated Nov 6, 2009

As feared, record company EMI is suing a US website which it says is offering unauthorised downloads of Beatles hits.

A spokesperson for the company said that EMI had not authorised content to be sold on Bluebeat.com, which sells tracks for around 30 cents each.

Meanwhile, EMI and Apple Corps have announced they will be releasing a limited edition apple-shaped USB drive containing all 14 of the remastered Beatles albums as well as artwork, documentaries and other extras...for a whopping $400 dollars a pop.
